add properties to not allow epic creation

[Mélanie Liguet]

Hi,

It is possible to add a properties to authorize only admin to create Epic.

I try jira.permission.create.denied or jira.permission.create.projectrole=administrators  on first transition of  Epic workflow

but it is always possible to create an epic.
Is it a jira bug, or an error in my properties?

regards,

Hi @Mélanie Liguet ,

Why not have a unique workflow for the epic issue type and add a validator on the create transition restricting it to a specific user or group of users.

Hi,

I have a specifique workflow  for the epic issue type. 
I tested to add a validator on the create transition restricting it to a specific role but the user can fill all fields on epic's creation screen.

the error message appears after the validation of the screen (click on create button)
I would like the epic not to be offered in the list of available issue types.

thanks,

If you wish to hide the issuetype you will need an addon app. If you happen to have Scriptrunner here is a reference on this topic - behaviours-restricting-issue-types
